The internet buries Giuliani in ridicule for ‘our client is INNOCENT’ celebration: ‘Sure, Rudy…’
On Saturday, President Donald Trump’s main counsel, Rudy Giuliani, proclaimed triumphantly that the president is “INNOCENT” of any offense following the release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russia.
The lawyer who led us from beginning to end deserves the most credit @JaySekulow , no better lawyer in America. Jane and Marty Raskin are unsung heroes, both great lawyers. And John Dowd’s strategy gave us the basis to let truth prevail. Most important our client is INNOCENT.

Giuliani was promptly mocked in numerous tweets for his misplaced victory lap.
What is it this morning? Tequila shots?

Some people ridiculed Giuliani’s congratulation of the other lawyers:
Pretty sure Mueller is a better lawyer, Rudy. Read the report, mkay! #MuellerReport

Was he the lawyer who engaged in unethical behavior, according to the Mueller report? Or was that you?

C’mon Rudy, give all the other lawyers who were arrested or quit along the way a little credit.

Others pointed out to Giuliani that Mueller’s report did not, in fact, affirm Trump’s innocence, and that other investigations are still ongoing.
That word ISN’T listed anywhere in the 400page #MuellerReport. LIAR.

No, he is not “innocent” he has obstructed justice, Mueller laid out a road map for congress, he told people to lie. He will pay, as will you.

And at least one person asked Rudy what happened to the “counter-report” that Giuliani previously announced would be released by his team to rebut the Mueller report:
Where is the counter report??

There can be no doubt that high-powered hedge fund manager Jeffrey Epstein would rather the public know him for his prominence and success as an investor than for the allegations of child sex trafficking, for which he has now been indicted and faces life in prison. And there has for years been mystique surrounding Epstein's business — his wealth fund is so exclusive that it reportedly requires a billion dollars up front from clients.
But according to the Dow Jones' periodical Barron's, Epstein may not even be good at that.

Jon Stewart blasts ‘abomination’ of Rand Paul trying to ‘balance the budget on the backs of’ 9/11 responders
On Wednesday's edition of Fox News' "Special Report," comedian and activist Jon Stewart slammed Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) for blocking unanimous consent for a bill to support health care for 9/11 first responders.
"Pardon me if I'm not impressed in any way by Rand Paul's fiscal responsibility virtue signaling," said Stewart to anchor Bret Baier, who appeared on the show with first responder and activist John Feal.
He added that Paul's complaint, that the bill was unfunded, rings hollow given that he "added hundreds of billions of dollars to our deficit" with the GOP tax cuts for billionaires. He castigated Paul for trying to "balance the budget on the backs of the 9/11 first responder community."

Republicans will never say that racism is ‘racism’ — basically because they’re racist
Is there any expression of racism that Republicans will actually admit is racism? It's a question on a lot of progressive minds in the wake of Donald Trump demonizing female congresswomen of color with the "go back" canard that white nationalists and other assorted racists have long used to abuse anyone with heritage they dislike, whether that heritage is Jewish, Irish, Italian, African, Latin American or Muslim. Telling someone to "go back" is, in the ranks of racist statements, right up there with calling a person the N-word or some other rank slur. Yet, there still appears to be resistance among Republicans to admitting that is racism, which leads many on the left to wonder: If this doesn't count, then what could possibly count?
